  I haven't been ignoring you all. Now that the big day is over I should be around a bit more again.

  Game Collection Tally: August

  41 new titles added to my list. So much for behaving. This completes one full year of monthly collection tallies.I'll probably write something up to commemorate that and reflect upon my purchases.

  Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (GB) - Cart only - FREE - A game that I've played and beaten.

  Ms. Pac-Man (GB) - Cart only - FREE - I've spent a lot of time with this one. Diamonds are forever.

  Rugrats: Castle Capers (GBA) - Cart only - FREE - It's not as horrible as you'd expect.

  The Powerpuff Girls: Bad Mojo Jojo (GBC) - Cart only - FREE - I beat this one a long time ago for my niece. Mediocre, but not completely worthless.

  Uniracers (SNES) - Cart only - $7 - I've been wanting this one for over a decade. Welcome to the family.

  Harley's Humongous Adventure (SNES) - Cart only - $7 - I need to get started on this one soon. I've been curious about it for a long time.

  Disney's Aladdin (SNES) - Cart Only - $7 - I beat this a long time ago. Welcome back

  Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday (SNES) - Cart only - $7 - The only Porky Pig game ever made? I'll take it!

  Viva Pinata: Party Animals (X360) - Used - Complete - $16.19 - It's not as bad as it first seems. A little more instruction on how to play the games would have been appreciated.

  Blast Works: Build, Trade, Destroy (WII) - NEW - $19.99

  Summoner 2 (PS2) - Used - Complete - $3.59

  Arc the Lad: End of Darkness (PS2) - Used - Complete - $4.49

  Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits (PS2) - Used - Complete - $6.29

  Dancing with the Stars (PS2) w/Dance Pad - NEW - $7.98

  Boom Blox (WII) - NEW - $49.99 - Bought this to get Okami at 50% off. It's easy to pick up and play and definitely worth trying.

  Okami (WII) - NEW - $19.99 - IGN logo on the front cover. LOL

  Counter Force (WII) - NEW - $7.98 - I dismissed this one as garbage until I read up on it. It seems to be a cult favorite in some circles.

  Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble (PSP) - NEW - $12.99 - The Mrs wanted this one. She's a big VJ fan.

  Contra 4 (DS) - NEW - $19.99 - A great game at a budget price what's not to love? It manages to be hard and yet not turn me off to playing it. That's quite a feat.

  Picross DS (DS) - NEW - $14.99 - GREAT game. More puzzle fans need to try this one.

  Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles (PSP) - Used - Complete - $22.49 - Very fun game with lots of value packed in. A must own for PSP owners.

  Gitaroo Man Lives! (PSP) - Used - Complete - $16.19 - A friend of mine once called this the stupidest game that she'd ever seen. I think that it's fun and cute.

  Resistance: Fall of Man (PS3) - New - $29.99 - It was time to purchase this before they put it in a hideous Greatest Hits box.

  Xbox Live Arcade Edition Compilation pack - Used - $10.79

  Pac-Man Championship Edition (X360)

  Boom Boom Rocket (X360) - A fun game that you can play with a dance pad, guitar controller, or regular controller.

  Feeding Frenzy (X360) - Easily worth the low price of admission.
  
  Luxor 2 (X360) - I refuse to play this one due to the goofy achievement points that leave your score with odd numbers.
  
  Uno (X360) - Already had it, but it was part of the bundle.
  
  Intellivision Lives! (GC) - Used - Complete - $2.69 - I needed more GameCube games and the price was right.

  SSX On Tour (GC) - Used - Complete - $11.69 - This is the first time that I've seen this title for under $20. It's nice to finally check it off of my want list.
  
  Viewtiful Joe (PS2) - Used - Complete - $4.49 - Who wants to see Devil May Cry's Dante in a speedo? Capcom seemed to think that we all did...

  Nintendo DS Pokemon Bundle - NEW - $129.99 - These aren't supposed to ship until Tuesday, but my local store has them out already. The DS itself looks nice, and it comes with a bonus DVD, carrying case, and shirt. The shirt isn't the typical flimsy freebee either. It's a well made cotton shirt from Hanes. The only gripe is that the box is REALLY hard to open without ripping it apart. It's glued closed rather than the usual sticker keeping a flap closed.

  Braid (X360) - Very short, but worth the price.

  Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom (X360) - NEW - $27.88 - Another game that I've been wanting for a while. It's not as bad as the reviews would lead one to believe.

  Dog's Life (PS2) - Used - Complete - $17.25 - I've been wanting this one for a long time. They had two copies. It was tempting to get both of them, but I didn't.

  Ontamarama (DS) - NEW - $9.99 - I've heard good things about this game and the price was definitely right. It was also their last copy.

  Viewtiful Joe 2 (PS2) - Used - Complete - $3.49 - At least this one doesn't have Dante in a speedo.

  Soulcalibur IV (X360) - FREE! - I got to talking to a co worker about games. He mentioned that he bought the game and didn't like it much. I offered to buy it from him. He refused the money and said that I could have it for free since I always help him out with game related things.

  Silent Hill: Origins (PSP) - Used - Complete - $16.19 - The Mrs really wanted this one. I was fine with buying it if she promised to actually play it.

  MetropolisMania 2 (PS2) - Used - Complete - $11.69 - "This is something that you should have." "Meh, I'm not much into sims." Somehow it ended up following us home any way.

  Rise to Honor (PS2) - Used - Complete - $6.29 - "This is like Stranglehold before Stranglehold was made." "Well, at least it's cheap."

  Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge (XBOX) - Used Complete - $11.68 - This is one that we both wanted and it had been quite a while since we've seen a copy. Score one for the bad guys.

  Finally a blog that's not about buying a bunch of crap.

  Instead it's about a profile dedicated to all the crap that I buy. Oh snap!
